Title: WHDload games working under 1.3
Post by: epsilon on February 09, 2020, 09:21:23 pm

Hi all,

I wanted to mention that this weekend that I worked out that you can play whdload games under Workbench 1.3, something I thought you couldn’t do!

Using the latest version of JST in c: you can launch whdload games on Workbench 1.3 - I tested it on my Amiga 1000 with ACA500 booting 1.3 workbench from cf card and it works perfectly!

Get latest JST from here:

https://jotd.pagesperso-orange.fr/amiga.html

You need the a500 kickstart in devs/kickstarts as well.

Launch games by typing

JST gamename.slave

So awesome - I wanted to share it.

Catcha,
Epsilon

This is pretty awesome.

Could be a reason to actually try out 1.3 on my 3k
